"Here Comes Santa Claus"

Waiting to head upstairs and see what Santa brought.

Christmas morning finally came and the kids were so excited to see what Santa got them. They seemed excited with their gifts and have been enjoying them since Christmas.


Adam and Dan went upstairs together. Adam wasn't too thrilled, but Dan loved his toys. His favorite was his new dagger, it's the perfect size for him.

Gracie was next. She enjoyed her gifts from Santa and nicely stopped for a quick picture.

Hannah was next to come upstairs. He favorite thing was her boy Barbie with a head (the other boy Barbie's head fell off, in case you didn't get that.)

Ben was next. He too got a Nerf sword and was immediately ready for battle.

Sarah was soooo excited right after reaching the top stair. She first saw her 'Harry Potter' poster and was too jumping for joy.




After everyone came upstairs and discovered what Santa brought, it was time to sit back and enjoy our gifts. This year we got to stay home and play with the kids and Grandma and Grandpa and it was so nice. I loved being in our own home spending so much time not doing much of anything. It was such a relaxing holiday.

Dan enjoyed the M&M's from his stocking (and everyone else's stockings as well.)

Ben got a 'Ben 10' alien set in which he's able to create his own alien men. It takes this love of creating Lego mystery guys to a new level.

Hannah, Sarah, and Mom playing with the girls toys.

I think Gracie loved Adam's piggy bank more than she loved her own gifts.

Adam enjoyed hanging out with Grandma and watching the kids have fun.

One of the first things Hannah and Gracie did was look to see if Santa ate his cookies. She was so happy to discover his Eggnog was almost all gone.

"Look mom. Santa took bites out of his cookies."

Dan found Ben's mace and even though is was a little heavy for him, he couldn't help but try and swing it around.

Hannah loved her big set of Disney classic books.

I don't know why, but I just thought this picture of Dan was hilarious.

The family got a PlayStation Move for Christmas and the kids loved playing with their new pet Fluffy.

Grandma and Grandpa Newbry helped the kids get Kenny and I gifts for Christmas. Kenny got a 'Cars' PlayStation game and I got a Christmas cookbook.

After playing with our toys from Santa for awhile, we had a great Christmas breakfast of French Toast, Ham, and Eggs prepared by Kenny. Yummy!


The little girls are ready for breakfast.

Mr. Christmas Tree was our only tree this year. We piled up all our presents around him and Dan and Adam were kind enough to sit in a picture for us.
